The Healthy Planet Radio Show has been airing on WUSB, 90.1 FM, since January of 2007. It immediately follows Democracy Now! during “drive time,” from 6 to 7 PM. Now airing on the first and second Fridays of each month, HealthyPlanet’s Bob DiBenedetto will bring you twice as much empowering, life-and-world-changing information as before!

The signal can be heard at 90.1 FM on most of Long Island, and in Southern Connecticut, parts of NYC (Brooklyn and Queens), and Westchester County. It also simulcasts on 107.3 to reach Stony Brook University campus. It can be heard over the Internet 24/7, on WUSB.FM.
The Coronavirus: Manifestation of A Domination-Based Society, with Dr. Sailesh Rao
Show Description:
Addressing the not-often-discussed origin of the globe-disrupting coronavirus.
The novel coronavirus might seem like something new. But in fact, the same human activities that likely led to the transmission of this disease to humans are, according to the Centers for Disease Control, responsible for 3 out of every 4 new or emerging infectious diseases in humans. Unfortunately, this information is not being widely-discussed by our media or leaders.
Join HealthyPlanet’s Bob DiBenedetto for a discussion with film producer, author, Executive Producer of films including Cowspiracy and What The Health, Dr. Sailesh Rao. They’ll discuss:
• How our domination-based economy creates fertile ground for diseases such as the coronavirus.
• The tie between the source of the coronavirus and one of the major contributors to climate change.
• How understanding the source of the coronavirus will also help us to understand how to lessen the risk of serious implications from contracting the disease.
• How the COVID-19 pandemic may have the power to bring us together as people–and give us a pause that may allow us to collectively imagine a more peaceful and healthful society.
Join us for this important discussion that will help you to connect the dots between the coronavirus and so many other environmental, health and social challenges that are facing our world!
